Hi Everyone! The February edition of the CEL Newsletter brings you some exciting Social Justice Hub events coming up this month. We will keep this one short and sweet, and give you a chance to read through some awesome work SJH has been doing! Special event announcement! The Social Justice Hub presents: Pathways for Institutional Change at the UM with Vice-Provost (Equity) Tina Chen and Vice-Provost (Students) Laurie Schnarr. February 27th from 1-2:30pm Room 108, Drake Centre * Students leading change must navigate a daunting institutional landscape, often learning through trial and error which figures on campus make decisions about what in order to see their campaigns succeed. Students, come participate in this wayfinding session to learn from the Vice-Provosts about which avenues exist within the university to transform the institution and what paths students have taken in the past to make real changes at the UM. * Register here: Register: Pathways for Institutional Change at the UM – Fill out form<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=C92AT4wzTE6KFJBEaWL3uKw…> Upcoming: February Teach-In Tuesday, February 24th from 12-1:30pm CEL office, 203-55 Chancellors Circle This month's theme is on Two-Spirit and Trans+ Community Organizing.

"For January’s event in particular, the hub brought local community organizations that are working on the issue of migrant justice organizing so that students could learn from them and get involved.

UM recognizes that the Treaties signed on these lands are a lifelong, enduring relationship, and we are dedicated to upholding their spirit and intent. We acknowledge the harms and mistakes of the past and the present. With this understanding, we commit to supporting Indigenous excellence through active Reconciliation, meaningful change, and the creation of an environment where everyone can thrive. Our collaboration with Indigenous communities is grounded in respect and reciprocity and this guides how we move forward as an institution.
